MURFREESBORO, TN — Gloria Ann Kutz, 65, of Murfreesboro, TN, formerly of the Town of Wheatfield, died Thursday, September 20, 2012, after a brief illness.
The former Gloria Milleville was the daughter of the late Philip and Lorina Stoelting Milleville and grew up on the family farm on Cayuga Drive Extension in Wheatfield. She attended Lutheran schools in Bergholz and Niagara Wheatfield High School, where she graduated in 1965. She attended cosmetology school in Buffalo and operated her own beauty salon, "Gloria's Hair Fashions" for several years before her marriage in 1974 to Gerald Kutz, who died in 1985. She lived in the Kutz home in Pendleton until she moved to Tennessee over ten years ago.
Mrs. Kutz was a NASCAR and car racing enthusiast, an avid Buffalo Bills fan and an antiques collector. Besides her beauty salon, she worked as a teacher's aide for Orleans/Niagara BOCES and a school bus driver for Starpoint Central School District. In Tennessee, she was a clerical employee at medical centers until her retirement. She was loved for her friendliness, sense of humor and outgoing personality, and made many close friends both here and in Tennessee. She was a supportive, compassionate mother, grandmother and friend who never hesitated to help when needed. She enjoyed spending time with her friends and family, and especially her grandchildren.
Mrs. Kutz is survived by two children, Tricia (Doug) Papke of Pendleton and Steven (Rebecca) Kutz of Michigan, and four grandchildren; her companion, Ken Adams of Murfreesboro, TN, and several nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by a brother, Roy.
Visiting hours for the family are set for 9 AM to Noon Saturday, September 29, at St. James Lutheran Church on Niagara Road in Bergholz, with a memorial service at Noon. Interment will be at St. James Lutheran Cemetery in Bergholz. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to The Wounded Warrior Project, P.O. Box 758517, Topeka, KS 66675.
